Uncle Ruckus quotes from The Boondocks

Uncle Ruckus

Oh, what's the point? What's the point in living if there's nothin' to look forward to but just a life full of rap music and fo'ty ounces? What am I supposed to do now, huh? Be somebody's baby daddy? Hang out on the corner all day and night, shootin' dice, cops chasin' me all the time? My body ain't made to handle a stun gun, ain't got but two or three shows I could identify with.

Ruckus, you make a very compelling argument, but I know that you're gonna get through this.

Uncle Ruckus

Huh, is this what I'm supposed to be readin' now? This? The Vibe, The Source, JET? You call this a magazine? Look at this! This is a pamphlet! Field & Stream, National Review, Soldier of Fortune, THOSE are magazines! This is a brochure! Ebony, they should call this "National Geographic but the photos are better. And Essence?! Essence of what? Essence of ugliness!

Ruckus, we have a saying in BET, we hate black people and I know you share that same sentiment. But I've learned how I could use my blackness against the black race. Look at BET, you think we'd put this shit on the air because it's entertaining? You think we sit down and say, "Hey, let's be entertaining? How about a Baldwin Hills reality show?". I have good taste, Gregory Hines is entertaining, Sammy Davis Jr. he's entertaining. You think I can relate to anything these young niggas have to say? No! We air this shit because we despise our audience! Are there other ways to make money? Yes, of course. Yes, yes. But they all require more work, this is easy. The only people who suffer, the only people who suffer, Ruckus, are black children. I think we both could live with that.

Uncle Ruckus

Weggie Rudlin, you sho' do have profound insights. but I don't know, I just don't think I could stand life as a darkie.

What about the Ivory Coast?

Ruckus

ABSOLUTELY NO AFRICA! NO WAY! ALL THEM COUNTRIES GOT NIGGER PRESIDENTS!

Uncle Ruckus

Oh hell no! What ya'll want, nigga? Hurry up, I haven't got all day.

We looking for a place called Woodcrest, is this it?

Uncle Ruckus

Maybe. Look you want gas or not?

We're looking for a man.

Uncle Ruckus

Oh yeah, I guess we are. You looking for the number man or the weed man or the welfare man!

No the man I was looking for is named Freeman, Robert Freeman.

Uncle Ruckus

OH HELL NO, I KNEW IT! You relate to Robert Freeman?

So you know him?

Uncle Ruckus

Yeah I know him. But Woodcrest don't need no more color. We got our color quota filled. So ya'll get to steppin, get in that piece of shit car, turn it around and head back to the road, crusty the coon.

Why don't you just tell me where Robert is before I put 5 [crack his knuckle with brass knuckle] cross your lips, you big black dummy!

Lady Esmeralda

Yeah! Start talking, you one eye fish eyed fool.

Hey, we don't have all night. Buffalo Butt.

Uncle Ruckus

I ain't scared of decrypted negros, COME ON! [Rufus come toward Uncle Ruckus] NO NO! [All three start attack Ruckus]
